Single Family Rental

Hi, looking to invest into a single family home to rent out. Is it common for a bank to say that they need 35% down and the longest loan length they have is 20 year variable interest rate? From what I understand, that seems to be more on the commercial side of things. They were telling me that since it’s going to be for a rental and used as a business, that’s the type of financing available. This happens to be the main bank I use and I do have a commercial loan through them, and they are local, so I was hoping they would be more easy to work with. Should I go and check other banks?
